While at our ministry partner location we will have small group prayer,
daily devotions as well as relationship building time with our Bangladeshi
friends. Each location will offer new and exciting challenges as well as
opportunities to serve, learn and grow in grace and faith. There will be one
Trek staff assigned to each site as well as IFES staff and students.
Please pray with us as we embark on this adventure with the Bengali
people that God has made!
